Dear Friends of the Center,

As the 2017-2018 academic year begins to draw to a close, we want to thank the fac-ulty, graduate students, undergraduate students, and community members who have come to engage with us through our programming and classes. Our speakers series and faculty projects have been a great success because of this enthusias-tic participation. In this culminating quar-ter, we will keep the momentum going with lectures, film screenings, and artist talks. In preparation for next year, we will again be seeking faculty and student sub-missions for new project series and pro-gramming ideas. Before the year is over, however, we want to take a moment to celebrate the many accomplishments of our faculty affiliates and students. We will host a faculty affiliate book party on Friday, May 18, an end of the year BBQ on Wednesday, June 6, and a graduation presentation and ceremony for our ma-jors and minors on Thursday, June 7. We hope to see you there.

Our first major event of the quarter will be our annual Distinguished Alumni Lecture on Monday, April 16, which will feature Joseph Fischel (Yale University) speaking on “Kink & Football, Consent & Dignity.” Prof. Fischel received his PhD from the department of Political Science in 2011. During his time at the University of Chi-cago, he was an active part of the life of the Center, completing the graduate cer-tificate, holding the James C. Hormel Fel-lowship in Gay and Lesbian Studies and working with the Gay and Lesbian Studies Project on several conferences. His first book, Sex and Harm in the Age of Consent (University of Minnesota Press), came out in 2016 and a second, Screw Consent: A Better Politics of Sexual Justice, is forth-coming in late 2018.

In spring quarter, the Center will host a conference and a symposium. The con-ference, Engendering Change--now in its eighth year--rotates annually between the University of Illinois-Chicago, Northwest-ern University, and the University of Chi-cago. Engendering Change brings gradu-

The CSGS faculty projects again offer a wide array of events this spring. In collabo-ration with Prof. Jackie Stew-art, Prof. Jennifer Wild jointly curated a series of film screen-ings through the Counter Cin-ema/Counter Media project and Cinema 53 of the Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry. Beginning on March 29 with three short films and a conver-sation with film scholar Terri Francis (Indiana University), the four part series will center on Intimités: Everyday Life in Contemporary Afro/French

Cinema. The series will continue on Thursdays April 19, May 10 and May 31 at Harper Theater, co-sponsored by Institut Français, Cultural Services of the Consul-at Général de France, and the France Chicago Center. Counter Cinema/Counter Media will also host two film screenings to commemorate the student protest of Mai ’68. These events will be co-sponsored with the Film Studies Center and the France Chicago Center. For the Coalitions of Art and Activism series, Chase Joynt will host a screening and artist talk with filmmaker Cecilia Aldorando on Tuesday, April 3rd (co-sponsored by the Gender and Sexuality Workshop) at 5pm.

College News The Gender and Sexuality Studies Program

The Center for Gender and Sexuality Studies offers a major, with a choice between a generalist path and dis-cipline-based path. Many of our majors, usually those who choose the discipline-based path, also pursue and complete one or even two other majors. We also offer a minor, which makes the most sense for students whose majors have little overlap with our courses. Descriptions of major and minor requirements can be found at http://gendersexuality.uchicago.edu/academic/.

If you have questions about the major or minor and want to talk about how they might fit in with your general ac-ademic goals, call (773-702-2365) or email (stuohey@uchicago.edu) Student Affairs Administrator Sarah Tuo-hey to talk or set up a meeting.

Spring Courses

This Spring Quarter, three Gender and Sexuality Studies courses will be offered. Divinity School graduate student Emily Crews will teach “Introduction to Gender and (Im)migration,” Political Science professor Linda Zerilli will teach “Problems in the Study of Gender and Sexuality: Public Feminisms,” and English professor David Simon will teach “Advanced Theories of Gender and Sexuality.”

Problems, Theories, and Advanced Theories in 2018-19

During the 2018-19 academic year CSGS will offer four “Problems in the Study of Gender and Sexuality” courses: Lucy Pick of Divinity will teach “Problems: Religion and Gender.” In the autumn, Linda Zerilli and Social Scienc-es Teaching Fellow Amanda Blair will teach “Problems: The Big Issues” as a lecture course in the winter. Jennifer Cole and Jennifer Wild will teach “Problems: Intimate Immobility” and “Problems: Media Wars,” respectively, both in the winter. Linda Zerilli will also teach “Advanced Theories of Gender and Sexuality” in the winter.

CSGS Summer Internship Funding

Each summer CSGS provides funding to four undergrad-uates so that they may take up unpaid internships that focus on advocacy, service, or activism for women and LGBTQ communities. This summer, funding will go to Maddy Birmingham (second year, Gender and Sexuality Studies), Raphael Espinoza (second year, Latin Ameri-can and Caribbean Studies), Madison Johnson (second year, Gender and Sexuality Studies), and Kendall Lucer (third year, Biology).
